<h3>External services</h3>
<p>This plugin connects to the <strong>Bluesky public API</strong> to retrieve and display Bluesky social media content on your WordPress site. It is required for all plugin functionality. Without it, no feed or profile data can be displayed.</p>
<h4>What data is sent and when</h4>
<ul>
<li><strong>Profile requests</strong> – When a page containing the <code>[bluefeed]</code> shortcode is loaded, the plugin sends the configured Bluesky handle to the endpoint <code>https://public.api.bsky.app/xrpc/app.bsky.actor.getProfile</code> to retrieve the user’s profile information (display name, avatar, banner, bio, and follower/following/post counts).</li>
<li><strong>Feed requests</strong> – On the same page load, the plugin sends the Bluesky handle along with display parameters (post count, filter type) to the endpoint <code>https://public.api.bsky.app/xrpc/app.bsky.feed.getAuthorFeed</code> to retrieve the user’s posts.</li>
</ul>
<p>No visitor personal data, cookies, or tracking information is sent to the API. Responses are cached locally on your server (default 15 minutes, configurable) to reduce the number of external requests.</p>
<h4>Service provider</h4>
<p>This service is provided by <strong>Bluesky PBC</strong> (<a href="https://bsky.app" rel="nofollow ugc">bsky.app</a>).</p>
